I’ve recently read this book Organize Tomorrow Today by Jason Selk, Tom Bartow and Matthew Rudy.

One of the biggest takeaways I got from it is coming from the first chapter, which is titled Organize Tomorrow Today. As you noticed, the book is titled the same.

The idea is very profound, but very simple to implement. 

Taking action on it might only need 5 minutes of your precious time, but the effect is great. Can be the most important 5 minutes of your day.

So why should you organize tomorrow today? Well there are a couple of reasons.

  1. By planning your day in advance, your mind is already preparing while you are sleeping. ( I also have a similar blog post on why you should plan in advance https://vikkotaruc.com/plan-your-day-in-advance/)
  2. You are prioritizing what you need to complete tomorrow. It’s more effective that having a to do list that contains 4-10 items that are not sorted by priority.

So how do you implement this technique? It’s quite simple.

  1. Write down a list of tasks you need to complete tomorrow
  2. Select the 3 most important tasks
  3. Out of those 3, select the 1 MUST BE COMPLETED task
  4. Lastly, set by what time should the respective task be completed (ideally target items to be completed as early as possible)

Let me give you an example.

Write down a list of tasks you need to complete tomorrow. Just dot down anything that you think you need to be done tomorrow.

Select the 3 most important tasks out of the list. Prioritize in terms of importance. Make it a habit of doing the most important thing first, rather than doing the easiest.

Out of those 3, select the 1 MUST BE COMPLETED task

Lastly, set by what time should the respective task be completed (try to target to complete all tasks as early as possible)

That’s it. By implementing this technique, you already have a game plan. You are now prepared to succeed and conquer tomorrow. Just attack and execute the plan!

To learn more about this technique, I highly suggest you read the book (https://www.amazon.com/Organize-Tomorrow-Today-Optimize-Performance/dp/0738219533)
